Hi - Being in a fairly small town but with a lot of ambitious film people I'm considering operating as a small production company. There are no rental houses in the area and I want to help people realize their creative abilities a step up from the rest so I want help filling my truck. This is what I have, I want to modify, add, fill the gaps, so as to be fairly well rounded. This is primarily low budget filmmaking. Some Flourescents are on their way.

Sweet set-up, shame you're not closer to me (NE PA) ;-)

I see no dolly, and the tripod heads seem quite "weak" especially if someone wanted to use a 2/3" cam, they'd be pretty much useless. I have to assume the tripods are therefore also a little light?
Otherwise some nice stuff there...although it does seem more geared for 1/3" cams (tripod heads, crane, etc.)
 
Thanks for the input, I do have dollies, I failed to list them. One set of legs is very heavy duty, otherwise I agree with you but for my own work, the setup works well for the DVX, and that's the area I want to facilitate, filmmakers with no equipment. You could always move ya know..
 
how about packing it up and move to Beverly, hills that is swimming pools movie stars.
 
I'd add a 6x6 Butterfly set, 2 High Combo stands, various clamps (maffers, cardellini's, pony, c-clamps, and furniture clamps as a the basic 5), apple boxes, step ladder, sandbags, location support (a few pylons, cable mats, etc, etc)
